Abstract Details
Purpose:
to present results of simultaneous use of laser-endodissector and laser-biostimulator in cataract surgery
Setting:
S. N. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery State Institution, Moscow, Russia.
Methods:
148 surgeries of microinvasive laser cataract extraction (LCE) with use of two types of laser energy: endodissector Nd-YAG 1.44 µm and boistimulator He-Ne 0.63 µm guided on single optical fibre. In control group 176 LCE surgeries with use of endodissector Nd-YAG 1.44 µm only.
Results:
clinical preventive and therapeutic effect of He-Ne 0.63 µm laser was apparent in faster restoration of pupil reaction, decrease of postoperative exudation, less postoperative central cornea hydration, and minimization of endothelial cell loss compared to control group.
Conclusions:
In cataract surgery low intensity and low energy radiation of He-Ne 0.63 µm laser acts as visible red marker for achromatic radiation of Nd-YAG 1.44 µm laser. Also simultaneously He-Ne 0.63 µm laser functions as biostimulator, activates reparative regeneration and blocks starting inflammation.
